This gorgeous 6yo M shepherd mix needs a new home due to owner's illness.
"It breaks my heart to write this, but after months of trying to make it work, I have made the difficult decision to find a new home for my beloved dog, Azeak.

Azeak is a 6yo German shepherd 140-pound dog with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. He has never hurt anyone and is one of the friendliest dogs you could ever meet. He loves people and is wonderful with children, adults, seniors, and other animals. He is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. Azeak is affectionate, loyal, and enjoys being around his family. He has brought so much love, comfort, and joy into my life, which makes this decision incredibly painful.

Unfortunately, I have been dealing with chronic pain for the past five months. I have held on as long as I could because I love him so much, but I am no longer physically able to provide the level of care and exercise that a dog his size deserves.

My priority is finding Azeak a loving, stable home where he will be cherished as a member of the family. This is not a decision I take lightly, and I will be selective about where he goes.

If you or someone you know may be interested in giving Azeak the loving home he deserves, please send me a message. Please share to help me find the perfect family for him [message us and we'll put you in touch].

❤️ Azeak deserves the very best, and I am committed to finding it for him."

Clover is urgently looking for a foster home or foster to adopt family. She needs a home asap. She is about 7 yrs and was found as a stray. She looks like her life on the streets may have been a little rough for her. She loves people and welcomes their love and pets. She just wants attn and a safe space to be spoiled. Playful and loving. House broken. Okay on a leash but pulls. Bounces when she's happy. Loves sun bathing. She needs to be the only dog and wishes any dog stays away from her. She is available through railway rescue in elmhurst. Please text 708-642-8533 if interested in meeting her.

So many of our dogs have found their Forever Families in Elmhurst. We'd love to hear Happy Tails from them.

P.s. we urgently need foster homes so we can save more lives.
